Pre-Made Logos: Diamond Hearts
My first pre-made logo design pkg project has been dragging along behind other projects for some time. This past week, I was inspired for some reason and pushed myself, working all day for several days to refine the first logo and write up the pkg.
I won't have to prepare the marketing content and documents again, since they will serve as templates for new logo designs. That first preparation is the most time-consuming one.
The logos that I design appeal more to handmades sellers, makers, designers, sole proprietors and other creatives. You'll see me list more detailed, artsy designs rather than the simplified, geometric designs used by companies and corporations.
I like using artwork for logo design, rather than vector work, like what I used for this Diamond Hearts logo. Vector design is fun too, so you may see them popping up in my logo shop every now and then.
I never re-sell a logo that a customer buys from me. While I may take some elements from a logo and re-work them into new designs, I never re-sell any sold designs. Any new designs will not be confused with the design from which I may have taken elements. My sold logos are exclusively owned by and identifiable with purchasers.
While I take steps to protect my images, it is important to note that I am not responsible for the possible digital theft and reuse of my logos, before or after sale.
It is the responsibility of the brand owner to become educated about protecting his/her logo and brand name. My design services do not include registering brand names or trademarking logos or providing legal business advice.

Free Color Psychology Course
Coolors, my fav color schemes generator, has teamed up with Uxcel, an interactive online learning platform, to offer a color theory/psychology class.
If you want to learn how to skillfully use colors in your products and/or brands, you can do it through this fun course. Uxcel offers a pro subscription but this course is free.
I like the colorful graphics and the easy click and read interface. I am excited that Fabrizio Bianchi offered this course through his website, Coolors.

Free Marketing With Facebook Hashtags
If you are using Facebook and not using #hashtags or #hashtag strategy in your products posts, you are losing out on free marketing. Facebook Help shares info and guidelines about hashtags:
Hashtags turn topics and phrases into clickable links in your posts on your personal timeline, Page or groups. This helps people find posts about topics they’re interested in.
I'm getting better at using them in every post. I and some of my creative friends have made sales because Facebook visitors found us and we weren't even using Facebook Ads.
How Do I Use Hashtags On Facebook?

Fluid Chalk Stamping Refills Needed
Colorbox Fluid Chalk Cat's Eyes ~ Primary Refills Needed |
I have a small Cat's Eyes chalk stamp pad set but Clearsnap discontinued them in 2019. I've searched for chalk refills and only found a handful of colors I don't need on Ebay. I thought that surely another company made chalk stamping ink but I have not seen any. I've only seen liquid chalk markers.
Do you know of a source or do you have any ideas on how I could stir up my own?
I like the little marquis-shaped pads because they are easy to use like blenders for tight, small spaces or quick card stock edge coloring. If I can't refill them with chalk, I thought about just re-inking them with my regular inks to salvage them.
Thanks for your help,
Sandi
